Names that other countries have for this feature:
A rock mass with a steep slope on the eastern side, with several small outcrops just to the south-west. It is located on the south-west part of Sandefjord Bay, about 26 km west of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Strandknatten (The Strand Crag). A survey cairn was erected on the highest point by ANARE in 1968. So named because of its proximity to the landing place for stores and equipment for the ANARE Amery Ice Shelf party in January-March, 1968.
